Customer Review: Not all of us are rich, or els I would be trying to get the i7 lol
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought my PC (bare bone kit) about 6 months ago thinking I had a good deal. I realized what kind of processor It obtained after I purchased it. I didn't really look into it at first before I actully made the order. I just seen the procossr had 3.00Ghz and went for it (differant processor NOt duo). It was an IntelŪ PentiumŪ Processor E5700 (2M Cache, 3.00 GHz, 800 MHz FSB). while looking at the specs, I noticed it was for a low end user not suitable for a gaming PC. If you don't know what your looking for, you can really get screwed. Well, For monnths now I have been debaiting on buying a processor and or a bundle deal processor with a motherboard (1156)UPGRAD Future wise).Iive been really looking into the differant performanses that is sutible for a LGA775 socket and the reviews for varous one's.
There is one problem here with peoples reviews that I have not seen here (or anywhere els) as a precuation on making dicision on upgrading a CPU. I've noticed how no one explains how importain it is to make sure the compatablilty's of the motherboard and a CPU has to be. I have to say as a precation on doing this, it is really not so easy just choosing any Processor that is a LGA 775 socket or any other besides that. All I've I seen is how great or how bad the out come came out. Well I'm going to tell what to look for while another person can find a real opinion in what to look for by looking for a paticlaur CPU.
well let me tell you how I decided. I had to look at all the spects on my motherboard (keep this in mind, The first step on building a Computer, is starting with the CPU/processor) See where your motherbord has been manufactured . Also check the bois type to see if you nee an upgrade for your motherboard BOIs. The reson for this, is to check for a compatablilty spec upon the processor your concidering on buying. I found this with my manufacture on test ithas done with my paticular mother board. Also keep in mind, if you need a Bois upgrad for the processor your getting, make sure you know what your doing or you can render the entire motherboard to not function at all.
I also found out, that the lates Bois a maufatuer comes out with for a motherboard is not always the correct one. It is updated for users who are having known issuse. in other words, don't try to fix something that don't need to be fixed (just a tip).
Another thing, FSB is important to consider. Example; You find that you have a motherboard that has only 800 FSB, This Duo processor is not for you. This processor is a 1333 FSB system bus.
My Opinon on this processor, It has much better perfomance than what I had before. NOw my HD compatabilty indacator with Nero10 platnum, Is not reading to upgrade my processor. It is suitible for HD playing and editing. I am still considering on getting the 1156 (socket type) soon though I just have to have it.
PS. I know, I should of just wrote a book lol I know thats what your thinking lol.

45nm Hafnium-Based Architecture. Thanks to a naturally occurring element called Hafnium, Intel engineers were able to shrink the size of new Intel processors and pack more computing technology into less space. The result is improved performance with less energy wastage.
IntelŪ Wide Dynamic Execution. Enables the delivery of more instructions per clock cycle for shorter execution times and improved energy efficiency?accomplish more simultaneously and with greater efficiency.
IntelŪ Intelligent Power Capability. Turning off portions of the processor when they aren't being used improves overall energy efficiency and reduces heat production, resulting in a quieter, more energy efficient system.
IntelŪ Smart Memory Access. Increasing available data bandwidth means more multitasking with less slowdown?run more demanding applications simultaneously and accomplish more in less time.
IntelŪ Advanced Smart Cache. Placing data closer to the processing cores improves platform responsiveness and performance with a wide range of applications.
IntelŪ Advanced Digital Media Boost. Accelerates performance with a wide range of applications, including video, gaming, speech and image, photo processing, encryption, financial, engineering and scientific applications.
IntelŪ HD Boost. Available only on the latest 45nm Intel processors, this revolutionary technology takes IntelŪ Advanced Digital Media Boost and improves it even further, enabling significant gains on the latest SSE4 instruction set. SSE4-optimized applications, such as video editing and encoding in high-definition resolution will see additional performance improvements
Performance for Multitasking
With two powerful and highly efficient processing cores, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor frees you to run multiple software applications at the same time without compromising performance or responsiveness. Everything including email, downloading, online shopping, and video editing can be done simultaneously and with greater efficiency. No longer is it necessary to choose between work and play.
Energy Efficiency
When working or playing hard, you want to keep distractions to a minimum. Thanks to Intel's exclusive 45nm technology, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor runs very efficiently?consuming less energy and producing less heat then previous-generation processors. Since desktop PCs featuring the Intel Core 2 Duo processor run cooler, they require less cooling, meaning fewer fans and a quieter computing experience. And with energy-saving features that shut down portions of the processor when they are not in use, the Intel Core 2 Duo processor is easier on your energy bill and the environment.
